    Wheeee!!! Thanks to all for helping to the couple of helpers who took on a second person!

    Now everyone has an assigned giftee, and NOBODY is exchanging with the same person.... at least that I’m letting on.

    Thanks all and Merry Christmas!!!

    I certainly had fun as the host of the CT Secret Santa for the last few years, but I’m so excited that I get to just participate this year. And Mike is a perfect host for this exchange. He already dedicates quite a bit of himself to educating, informing and entertaining the numismatic community. He’s been like Santa all along.

    And with that, here are some of my very favorite coins received in this exchange over the last seven years (I think).

    But thanks!

    Put mine in the mail today. Nice to have the pressure off and I can now sit back and enjoy the posts.

    Mine is either in the mail or delivered. Just not saying yet. Waiting for my recipient to post that they got it.

    Thank you Secret Santa! I am going to hang the 1982 collection up in my office. The bar is sweet! I have only one other and it is smaller. And the 1909 VDBS is my only one, I just need a way to shrink it to fit in a whitmans :) Thank you very much, great gifts! Merry Christmas to you, and everyone on CT! I cant wait to see what everyone else gets!

    Must be karma. I sent my SS gift out this morning and found a SS gift in my mailbox this afternoon.

    Thanks Santa, let the anticipation begin:cool:

    My mail usually takes a little longer to travel to me and I’m also not going to be able to get my mail for about two weeks, so if it doesn’t arrive in about a week, my secret Santa might have to wait a bit longer, but I promise I will post when I get my post, post-haste!

    Got mine yesterday! Can't decide... rip it open right now or wait until Christmas Eve... or Christmas... decisions, decisions... ;-)

    A couple thoughts.... we are supposed to wait (yeah, right, for most) for Christmas to open. But honestly, based on previous years, it seems more photos of the gifts tend to be posted and SS thanked when the gift is opened early. And everybody appreciates seeing the pics. But there are some who both wait to open, and post pics. The other thought is hey, it's a gift, and why wait?????? Me, not yet gotten any from my SS but I am hoping I will wait until at least closer to Christmas Day.

    I waited until Christmas. Here is my AMAZING gift from last year from Green18. He knew I had been on the hunt for one for my Rhode Island collection for a year, and must have requested my name for the giveaway C9D3F28C-016A-439B-AF17-DA8B37822523.jpeg Thanks Ken!
    The year BEFORE that I received TWO Dan Carr medals, one silver and one bronze. A quick search showed them to be popular and valuable. So generous! I wish I had a picture, I’ll have to dig them out to photo.
